Maui Seaside Hotel

-We were disappointed with the condition of our room. The hotel’s Instagram advertises renovated rooms, but the room we were given appeared to be at least 30–40 years old. It felt outdated and did not match the expectations set by their marketing. I would strongly recommend confirming in writing (via email) whether you are booking a renovated room before arrival to avoid surprises. We also had to kill a couple of bugs in the bathroom during our stay. -On a positive note, the pool area is very well maintained. We had a great time enjoying the pool and the cabanas. -The staff were helpful and did their best to assist us with any requests, which we appreciated. -Be aware that there is both a parking fee and an additional resort fee, so factor those into your total cost before booking. -Lastly, the location in Kahului tends to be quite windy. As first-time visitors, we didn’t realize how windy this area can be. It’s not the hotel’s fault, but something travelers should consider when choosing where to stay. I recommend checking average wind conditions in different parts of Maui before booking. Proximity to airport is not a plus :)

We booked Maui Seaside Hotel last minute around 11 PM after missing our flight, and it turned out to be a great choice. We got an Uber quickly, and the hotel is only 10 minutes from the airport, which was a huge relief. Check-in was smooth, we received two room cards, and the room was decent and comfortable. One small note: the shelves above the sink are a bit close, so you have to be careful when leaning in. The view is nice, and the biggest highlight is the hotel’s direct beach access, which really adds to the experience. There are lots of restaurants nearby. We had breakfast at Tante’s Island Cuisine, which was delicious, and we got a 10% discount for being hotel guests. We took a late checkout at 3 PM for $70, which was worth it. After checkout, they stored our luggage and arranged a free airport shuttle (requestable the same day, runs hourly). Beach towels are provided. Overall, a solid stay near the airport, especially for a last-minute booking.

Stayed here for our honeymoon and highly recommend! There is a shuttle to get you to and from the airport which is fantastic, just call to request it. Hotel is in an easy location, but also feels very safe. The pool and beach access are gorgeous. There are lawn games available. Room service is upon request, but they are very helpful and do a fantastic job. Great value for the experience and views.

This is an absolute gem. We stayed in stylish newly renovated rooms which looked out to a lovely walkway. The grounds are beautiful with elegant flowers and plants. The staff, we felt emody the spirit of Hawaii and made us feel welcomed. This stay was part of a layover heading back from Japan to California so we slept about 18 hrs total lol... the rest of the time we spent dining, swimming in the absolute dream beach front location or eating at the restaurant located at the hotel. We found out the restaurant, Tante's, isn't the same ownership but is a fantastic neighbor. We had the luxury of enjoying dinner and breakfast there. Got breakfast, I had the locomoco with ribs, absolutely delicious, my partner had the classic locomoco, they said the beef and gravy were good and our son had the pineapple pancakes and ❤️ loved luvvvd them, he barely used syrup 😃 |Whole foods is about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. The ocean swimming/snorkeling is great for kids. I appreciate the water fill station and they have board games, giant jenga and connect four 😀 |If I were to imagine what a hotel in paradise would look like, this would be it.

I recently stayed in the newly renovated Seaside Suite at the Maui Seaside hotel and had a wonderful time. The room was comfortable, cutely decorated and the large bathtub and wet room made for a wonderful relaxing experience. The pool was perfect with plenty of lounge chairs in and out of the water and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall this hotel is a cute, vibey spot (if you book one of the renovated rooms) and the food truck hub close to the hotel was a major bonus!

Hotel stays should be broken up into parts. The quick reason why I rated it so low is in over 3 nights room service never came to our room. No trash taken out no new towels replaced. By the second night I asked if we could have towels and they gladly brought us some but that was definitely off putting. Woke up one day to see we weren’t alone and another gust put their smelly trash out in the hallway along with all their towels. If a manager sees this they should know it’s an easy fix but desperately needs to change asap. Also it’s located next to two highways and the walls are extremely thin. We could hear drunk people outside in the hallways to outside the building. We could even hear full conversations from the people next door to us. Also if you plan to share this hotel the door to the bathroom is slatted and you don’t get a bathroom fan so you hear everything.. All that being said every staff member that I interacted with was extremely friendly. From the front desk to housekeeping to maintenance the were all very kind. I’ll put it this way: was it awful? No would I ever come here again or recommend this place to anyone absolutely not. 2 stars

I would not consider this place great value for what you get. You are better off renting condos that are cheaper per night The room was clean but just a regular hotel Room The additional charges for amenities and parking seemed a bit over the top Especially when parking is hard to find Not sure what the amenities fee was Maybe because they had a pool.

This is a very small, older, and somewhat outdated hotel, but the rooms are clean and the property is well maintained. Unfortunately, the shower never stayed at a consistent temperature—it would switch from hot to freezing cold and then back to hot again, which was pretty frustrating. Parking is also a major challenge. Unless you’re driving a very small car, spaces are extremely tight, and if another vehicle parks even slightly over the line, getting in or out of your car can be nearly impossible. If you want full housekeeping services, you need to let them know 24 hours in advance, not the morning of.

MAUI Seaside Hotel - Five Stars for What It Is, Brada Let me tell you straight if you wen' book MAUI Seaside Hotel, you already did your homework. You know this one stay budget-friendly, not fancy-schmancy resort kine. And that's why I start off strong: five stars for value, cuz you getting exactly what you paid for, maybe even one notch above. First off, the location? Cheehoo, unreal. Right off the airport blink twice, you there. Middle of everything, perfect for one quick in-and-out stay or when you running Maui on one budget. The open-air vibe, that lighted-up pool, the little fireplace area... Me and my wife call 'em Motel 7, cuz it's one step above Motel 6 but still Hawaiian-style cute. King bed, tables both sides, modern TV, lil' fridge, coffee pot, desk, AC blowing cold, plenty lights, and even those old-school pics of Hawaiian girls up in the mountains. From our window? We saw water, mountains, the whole scene. That alone made me go, "Shoots, five stars." Could I walk around and point out da cracks? Sure. Place get age, no lie. But my room? Clean, brada. Like no dust on top the pictures, no grime hiding on the desk, no weird smells. Clean sheets, clean bathroom, everything tight. And you know what? I never heard one peep all night. No drama, no yelling down the hall, no slamming doors. Just solid sleep as much as you can get after running around Maui all day getting sunburnt and grinding shave ice. Walking into the lobby, the set-up get charm. Cute, simple, island feel. And I've written my share of rough reviews, but I like be honest not everything in life is broken. Sometimes you gotta judge the thing for what it's meant to be. If you buy one used car with 100k miles and the price is right, and the tires good, and the engine runs that's still a good deal. This hotel? Same story. Good deal, good value, good stay. And hey the Aloha was real. Staff friendly, smiles all day, no attitude. Hit the pool twice; everybody chill, nobody acting wild, just laid-back island vibe all around. That's worth something too, yeah? All in all? Solid stay. Clean. Peaceful. Friendly. Good value. Five stars because they deliver exactly what they promise and a little more with the Aloha spirit.

Idk about the 3 stars, but I'm glad it didn't deter me from booking here. I stayed at the Maui Seaside Hotel because I had a 24-hour training in Wailuku and didn't want to trek back and forth to Wailea. I've lived on Maui for 6 years and visited for over 15, and Maui Seaside has always been one of those long-standing hotels in town. From the outside, it still has that very 80's Hawaiiana look (definitely dated) but don't judge a book by its cover! Parking is available (uncovered, $15), and once you step inside, the newly remodeled lobby is lively, modern, and a little pop-art inspired. I decided to pay about $40 more for a renovated room ($214?), and it was absolutely worth it. The room was clean, refreshed, and surprisingly chic. Even my friend who stopped by said they didn't expect it to look that nice considering the exterior. They offer kamaʻāina rates, which is great, and the attached restaurant, Tante's, has been around forever and is convenient if you want something easy on-site. Service deserves a huge shoutout: I asked for a late check-out that same morning, and they extended it from 11am to 1pm with no extra charge. Total aloha spirit! Another big plus: the front desk is super responsive. Every time I called, someone answered right away. They could also check me in slightly earlier. That level of attention is rare these days and really appreciated. The grounds are nice overall, though a few areas could use some TLC. Still, if you upgrade to a remodeled room, this becomes a very solid and comfy stay. The AC runs cold (62°) the decor is modern and chic. The only downside is being right by the harbor gives you ocean views and that breezy harbor air if the wind blows right. All in all, I Would definitely stay here again. If you're afraid of snails, don't stay here. I hate roaches and didn't see any. Snails, on the other hand, were widespread in the mornings. I'm cool with snails. They're just everywhere. Grounds does a decent job of cleaning but there's so many.

Maui Seaside. Where the locals stay. With Maui hotels so expensive, this is one of the few affordable hotels. I booked a Kama'aina rate hotel room and a couple days prior to my stay I received an email of several upgrade options which included early check in and parking. I received texts before, during and after my stay. Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly hotel staff and check in was quick and efficient. My hotel room looked a bit dated with antique furniture but the room and bathroom were impressively clean. I'm a simple person, the shower pressure was strong, water was hot, AC worked good and the bed was very comfortable so I had a good stay. They also had plastic bags that were a God send because I forgot to bring something to hold my dirty clothes. The hotel grounds and pool area are well kept and clean. The location is close to the airport, mall and has an onsite restaurant. There were available parking stalls even in the midnight hour. I definitely have no qualms in staying here again next time I visit Maui.

Maui seaside hotel Pros 1. In 'Town', great location 2. Many things to do at walkable distance- mall, food trucks And sunday food trucks , all with a scenic backdrop 3. If there is hotel pick-up for any package booked, then for most activities, you will be last to get picked, that gives u extra time to get ready. 4. Got the standard room it was ok, neat and clean . Was it worth the price- I wouldn't say, but accommodation IS expensive anywhere in Maui. For an additional $40 p/n, you could get a better room. 5. Room service is on demand- it was fine with me as I literally spread my stuff in the entire room. Also, mine was a short stay and was in the room only to sleep and shower. 6. There was a dryer and steamer in room, I tried neither so can't comment. 7. Nice relaxed view from the pool and other side. They even put campfire after sundown everyday. 8. There is an In house restaurant. 9. There is a locked utility room which has a microwave and a restroom- for use only for hotel guests. This was very useful as I had a late night flight and already checked out. 10. They have a cloak room for luggage. again, very useful. 11. There is water and ice machine on floor 2. The machine gives u option for both hot and cold water. 12. Beach is right there.... Cons: 1. The helpdesk number was useless, tried to get the promoted airport pick up but to no avail. Tried and tried, got annoyed and took a cab. That too after reminding before hand and getting their commitment that its no problem. 2. U need to take stairs to get to the elevator !- kinda missing the point of elevator don't u think... 3. Keys are over sensitive, they come within smelling distance of a phone and they stop working ! I went back and forth many times, so did my neighbor guests ! 4. They collect resort fee of $20+ tax over and above the room fare per night. 5. The coffee machine did not work 6. One of the guests was complaining about repeated plumbing issues. 7. Switched off the AC as it was cold enough, but for standard room it was the old noisy one. Pros do outrun the cons. Overall for me, it was a clean hotel stay with many practical benefits. Staff was very helpful when in person, that was appreciated, also they are available 24/7.

Maui Seaside Hotel turned out to be a hidden gem, tucked away from the crowded tourist areas but still in a perfectly central spot - and only 5 minutes from the airport! It's an easy drive to popular destinations like Haleakalā, Īao Valley, the start of the Road to Hana, Kaanapali, and Wailea-Makena. Plus, there are plenty of great local food options just 5-10 minutes away. From the outside, the hotel doesn't look like much, but the newly renovated rooms were awesome, clean, modern, and comfortable. The pool area is great, and you're only a few steps from the beach, which was a nice bonus. We booked an "ocean view" room, though it was really more of a view of the canoe club next door. Still, being able to watch the sunrise every morning through our room window made up for it. The staff was consistently friendly, always greeting us with an "aloha," which added a warm touch to the stay. Parking was a bit tight, but we never had trouble finding a spot. A detail I really appreciated was the filtered water stations around the property. Instead of buying gallons of water, we could just refill our bottles, and the hotel even provided reusable ones in the room if you didn't bring your own. My only small knock was the lack of an iron and ironing board, there was a clothing steamer in the room, but I would've preferred a traditional iron. Other than that, it was a comfortable, convenient stay that felt like a great mix of local charm and central convenience. I'd definitely stay here again!

Last minute travel to Maui for the weekend. Had to find accommodations close to the airport and in the Kahului area, so Maui Seaside was the most affordable solution. Hotel is very dated, large refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, steamer for your clothes. Because of the price, I'd consider staying at MSH again, due to the close proximity to family and the places I absolutely need to visit each and every trip. I don't recall paying for parking? Front desk workers are super friendly! This hotel is so relaxing, just like the island.

Overall it was a nice stay. Perfect for work trips or for families who plan to venture the island (spend little time at the hotel). 5 Stars for the location (Close to the airport, grocery stores, and restaurants (they have an onsite restaurant Tante) 4 Stars for the staff (They are very helpful and accommodating. *Daily cleaning needs to be requested at the front desk) 3.5 Stars for the room (AC worked amazing, we got an upgraded room so everything was relatively new. Appliances- small fridge, coffeemaker) 3 Stars for the grounds (The ground is small, well kept but dated. They have a small unheated pool and no hot tub, onsite washing station, refillable water stations. I could NOT find a microwave)

The common area at this place is super nice. The parking is a little tight and the rooms are a bit small but it's perfect when you need a day hotel transitioning from your stay to the airport or etc. The pool is nice and cool, which is great for a hot day and the view down to the ocean is amazing and lots of lawn chairs for everyone to relax. Highly recommend this place and next time we might stay here for a little bit just for fun. The room inside has a pretty small fridge so can't hold a lot and we had two queen size beds, but the room itself was pretty small. There's a small window AC unit that did OK but for a day above 80 I would question if it could really keep the room cool.

Surprising little gem. I was able to stay in one of the remodeled rooms, no balcony or view but seriously, walk outside. A window view is not why you're here. From beginning to end: -the staff were incredible. Kind, attentive and helpful. -there is a restaurant on site but was closed for a private party (graduation weekend). They did offer a discount if guests wanted takeout but there are plenty of options close. -parking is tight but doable. It was at capacity but not sure if this was due to the many folks showing up for the dinner event. -pool has games during the day, comfy seating and a great ambiance with lanterns and fire pits in the evening. -most rooms will not be around the pool. There is a nicely landscaped "garden walk" towards the new tower of rooms (tower being said lightly. I think there are three floors). -the new remodel room had a small, dorm size fridge, coffee maker, and island area which was wonderful. The only thing missing here was a microwave for reheating some leftovers. -there is a water filling station in the lobby which is super handy. -shuttle to the airport was great. Make sure if you need it you make your reservation as soon as you check in as it's shared with multiple pick ups and will fill quickly. My time slot only had room for 3 folks because of it being filled prior to our stop. Runs on the hour. Uber/lyft is available, prompt and reasonably priced. -I could hear doors and noise in the evening but nothing out of the ordinary for hotels. -there is 24 hr security as well who are also very friendly. All in all, had I been staying longer a microwave would have been the only thing I'd wanted. The new rooms and decor were very nice.

Beautiful newly renovated rooms awesome customer service very comfortable accommodations

This hotel looked nice from the photos online and the exterior trappings, but unfortunately there were some negatives when we stayed there in reality. The photos on their website and on all the review sites, make it appear that all the rooms are around the pool or garden and have nice bright interiors. That is the farthest thing from the truth. There are about six of those fancy rooms that are around the pool and the rest are down dark/dingy hallways shooting off of the central pool area. We were in one of the dingy hallway rooms. There are some positives to this place, though: -It is affordable and close to a lot of the main attractions. -There is a little restaurant next door called Tante's that is super good. -The pool itself is very nice and clean. -The little private beach area in the back was cool, with a cute row/barrier of large rocks. -The people at the front desk were very nice and even held our luggage for us on our last day, since our flight didn't leave until later at night and we wanted to explore more. Now for the rest of the negatives, aside from the dingy rooms they don't show you in the property photos: -The walls are VERY thin. Be prepared to hear what every single person down your hallway is saying and doing. -The design is VERY outdated. The dark hallway our room was down (and the room itself) felt like a very cheap 80s motel. -Parking was $15 a day. I'm not surprised by that really, but just be aware of that if you are renting a car. -And the worst part - there were GIANT yellow stains on BOTH of our beds (shown in photos). We had to put down towels in those spots where the yellow stains were just to be able to sleep in the beds. While this place did have some good qualities, I wouldn't necessarily recommend it due to the negative aspects mentioned here. You definitely get what you pay for with this "affordable" hotel.

We stayed here on our last visit to Maui. Good value, clean and comfortable. While the rooms are small the beds are comfortable and the view is amazing. The laundry was helpful and less expensive than the place we stayed in Waikīkī. We will be back when we visit Maui again. They do have a free shuttle to the airport.

A house fumigation brought us and our two dogs (added fee) here for three nights. I had my doubts about the hotel in general, but I'm happy to report I was totally wrong! ENTRANCE: Located along the busiest street on Maui, the motel-like facade is well-maintained. In-house restaurant, Tante's Island Cuisine flanks the open-air lobby that looks out onto the hotel's pool. Buildings are no higher than three levels. PARKING: It's all free, self-parking as no valet service is available. Just obtain a dash pass from the front desk. LOBBY: The decor is trendy with modern lighting, furniture and a water bottle filling station. Self-service luggage carts were available here as the had no bell staff. Live music was happening on this particular Friday afternoon with a tiny audience in attendance. The hotel's ice machine is also nearby, with the empty space next to it doing duty as a pop-up bar that served wine. PUBLIC AREAS: All clean & tidy. They also have the nicest, greenest, weed-free grass I've ever seen! ROOM: We had a requested first floor room due to having our dogs in tow, which was across the pool. Instead of a balcony, we had a relaxing front porch to hang out in. The room was on the smaller size, clean, with a king bed, strong window a/c that wasn't overly noisy and almost-blackout curtains. My only complaint was that the gaudy fluorescent hallway light & bathroom light shared a switch, so there was no way of having a nightlight on. BATHROOM: While the single basin loo is in definite need of a renovation, I loved the bathtub's strong water pressure, shower head and quick drain! While I always bring my own bar of soap when traveling, the hotel's provided product I used for hand washing had an oddly rough texture to it. AMENITIES: A mini refrigerator, hair dryer and coffee maker were the only items in the room. Everything else needs to be requested. POOL: Simple, city-like rectangular design surrounded with modern fire pits and umbrella-covered lounge chairs. Great place to hangout at night. Surrounding noise can be intrusive from Kaahumanu Avenue. BEACH: Not the softest sand but very calm waters due to the man-made jetty's. I personally wouldn't swim here due to the neighboring harbor pollutants. RESTAURANT: Tante's served three square meals daily and also specialized in Filipino cuisine. SERVICE: The male front desk agent was very friendly & welcoming. TOURIST TIP: Two malls are close by. Head to Maui Mall for sit down restaurants and Queen Kaahumanu Center for fast casual dining. OVERALL: Comfortable digs but pricey at $300+ a night.

We spent just one night here at the end of our visit to Maui, as we needed to be near the airport for an early morning flight and honestly I wish we could've stayed here longer. It is recently renovated and the cutest little boutique style motel and you can tell that so much thought went into the renovation plans. The room was not only super cute but was very comfortable. We loved our short stay here and would absolutely visit here again!

We had a double bed unit, room 3029, which was located in the other building behind the main lobby area. Our room was a bit far away but we didn't mind too much since it was for one night. Facilities were clean and really very nice for a three star hotel. Our room was a bit dated, but no complaints other than that. Bed was comfortable for my husband and I, even with me having back issues. Shower was GREAT. AC and fan kept us cool during our stay. Would like to mention one tiny thing though- we asked for the later check out (3pm) which is an additional 60 bucks; no problem. The issue is, in the morning I checked with the desk attendant, to be on the safe side and they did not have our reservation noted. Parking overnight was 15 plus tax. Online it states the parking is included. Conveniently located minutes from shops, the airport, gas station and plenty of beaches. Hotel offers airport transfers by reservation

One of the cheaper options on Maui that won't break your bank but is also a nice place to stay. The staff is very friendly and texted us throughout our stay to ensure that we had everything that we needed. There is a relaxing area in the shade just outside the lobby (and the lobby is nice to relax or print boarding passes or get hot or cold water). They also have a nice pool area that has chairs around fire-pit like structures you can turn on at night to relax and have a few laughs with others in your party. If you want to dip your feet in the water but not swim they have two chairs in the pool you can lay down on. There is a good view from the pool of the water and just a few steps away is the beach. They offer a few events daily from morning yoga by the pool to live music at night. The rooms are nice and spacious. There are a few options for type of room to stay in depending on size and if you want to have a place to sit out front of your room or not. They have a mini-fridge in your room but no microwave. You have to ask the front desk in order to use the hospitality room. There no zero flow problem in the shower. Definitely a lot of pressure coming at you. However, for my 5'10" and above crowd the showerhead is about 6' up so you might struggle with it. If you are taller I recommend tilting the showerhead up and stepping to the back of the shower. You'll still have to duck head down a bit to wash your hair but overall feels great. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel for your eating pleasure or you can go across the street for great Italian food or of course drive around or order in. Consider this place if you are look for a place close to the airport but far enough away not to hear it. Many tours will pick you up at your hotel as well.

Was considering staying here for a short family trip but after the initial phone call to ask about availability and price I decided not to. the person on the phone was annoyed by my questions and sighed loudly several times after I asked simple pricing questions. This poor attitude just made me think how they'd react if we had a room issue while we were staying there. No thanks. Moved on to the next one.

The staff are amazing to deal with, I needed a ground floor room for the day for my mom to stay away from the sun. We had a midnight flight so this was a wonderful place near the airport to just relax. The view is awesome. Definitely recommended a stay here. I cannot wait to come back. Thank you for your hospitality, we had a great day there and look forward to staying longer next trip.

My partner and I found this hotel while looking for a centrally-located and affordable place to get a quick night's rest. The following day we had reservations at the crack of dawn to witness the sunrise above Haleakala (roughly an hours drive away). It is also very close to the Maui airport, the town of Kahului and the start to Road to Hana via Paia. I booked a Garden View King Bedroom through their website for the best deal--just shy of $350. They are currently waiving amenity fees (unsure how long that'll last) and there is also free parking which was a perk. There were some interesting people strolling the parking lot so just be sure to not store any belongings in your car and remember to lock the doors. The other thing thing I didn't care for is the hotel was fairly large and split into several buildings that made it feel somewhat disjointed. For instance, you couldn't walk on the grass along the shore from where our room was to the lobby/pool area. There was a locked fence separating us. Upon checking in, we ended up in a room with a partial ocean view. There was a sliding door that exited onto a small patio which obviously had the best harbor views. At night I could see a massive cruise ship's lights sparkling in the distance. Like many hotels, this was either an apartment complex or hotel that has recently been renovated into a hip place to stay. There are various murals, Insta-worthy opportunities, filtered water machine, and ATM machine. Cute indeed. The room was small but all we required. Bathroom was nicely remodeled and bright. A mini fridge, coffee machine, and AC machine all in a small nook with space to hang clothes. Most importantly, the king bed was comfortable. All in all, a fair four stars.

Overall, we had a pleasant experience at Maui Seaside Hotel. The staff were friendly & informative, & the facility & our room were clean. This place has that island cozy vibe we were looking for. It is located near the Kahului airport & "must have" places such as a Longs Drugs & Costco. Another great thing about this place is that it is right next to Tante's Island Cuisine (so travelers can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner without going out of the premises). My only concern is that the wifi isn't secure & can be weak during heavy rain type of weather. However, we recommend this place to stay for travelers :)

Location - great! Close to airport and walking distance to an amazing coffee shop, Whole Foods, the mall, and more. Cleanliness - they sprayed for bugs (good thing), the sheets were stained (throw these out), kinda dirty in rooms, outdated too Price - unreasonable for what you get. No fitness center, no free breakfast, pool has limited hours, no additional amenities. Our poolside room was really small! I'm not sure what we were paying for. We've stayed in other hotels in the area before which were cheaper and offered more. We only stayed here because we were traveling with a group. Staff - the housekeepers were really nice, the front desk staff was hit and miss. Other - (+/-) Glad they had hospitality room with a microwave. Loved being next to the ocean! Had to pay for parking. Restaurant had limited hours and was nasty!

Staff was very friendly and accommodating to my needs. I loved being able to walk out to the small beach they have. They had a nice pool to swim in and a nice area to be outside and relax. There were cats, which I did not mind at all. The room I stayed in was very nice. Had a washer and dryer for clothes. Overall had a good experience, would stay here again

Beautiful inviting view and great customer service Josiah was smiling and happy made me feel as if I was at home.

This laid-back, re-designed, family-run hotel that is 2 miles from the airport is about the BEST deal on Maui for those looking to save a little money that can be better spent on activities! Located near Kahului Harbor, this is a perfect central location to explore the entire island. The shuttle van to and from the airport is extremely convenient & comfortable. The staff is SO WONDERFUL! It is diagonally across the street from the restaurant BISTRO CASANOVA and WHOLE FOODS and LONGS DRUG STORE is also nearby. Also try Momona bakery and coffee shop down the street. Great hotel with super clean rooms with amazing AC!!

Amazing hotel and friendly service. Steps away from the beach and conveniently located next to Hoaloha beach and Maui marketplace on Sunday. Can't wait to visit again. Aloha!

My journey with Maui Seaside Hotel began before we arrived on Maui. I meticulously looked for hotel accommodations, knowing I did not want to be in a resort area. I nearly booked another hotel but changed my mind and booked here. Reading that it was Hawaiian-Owned sealed the deal for me. Supporting locally owned businesses is a huge part of my values. I read about the different rooms in detail before choosing the poolside rooms. When we arrived and the representative checked us in, she showed me where our room was on the map. I immediately told her I specifically chose a room with a "pool view," and the room she showed on the map was away from the pool in the "tower." I told her I wanted what I paid for. She assured me that this other room was much bigger. I reluctantly agreed and my son and I walked towards the room. I was already dissatisfied over walking past construction to get to the room. We walked into the room and as promised, it was huge. My son was happy but something bothered me. I opened the curtains and saw the very noisy, busy street. I also saw the very "partial" view of the ocean, but the street was the bulk of the view. The noise from the traffic and the view of the street angered me so I immediately called down to the desk. No one picked up so I called again. No response. I told my son we were not accepting the room so we went back to the desk and waited till after the representative finished with another guest. I explained to her that I was not happy with the room, that I specifically paid for the room with the "pool view" and that's what I wanted. I normally wouldn't do this, but honestly between walking past the construction and the noisy street, I would not have enjoyed my stay. She changed our room and when we walked to it, I was extremely happy. The room was significantly smaller, but it was closer to the pool and when we walked out the room we had a gorgeous view of the ocean. Our surroundings were very peaceful and I could hear the waves all night. The air conditioning worked perfectly. Our neighbors were quiet and everyone was pleasant. We had to make reservations for the pool, which was great. They wanted to make sure the pool didn't get crowded and everyone respected that. Every staff member we interacted with wore masks and were very courteous. The grounds were meticulously clean and the views were gorgeous. A couple days into our stay we went to another side of the island to go snorkeling. The beach was overcrowded and very busy. We had fun but both were extremely happy to get back to our quiet hotel. The beach outside our hotel was quiet, very few people. The reason they got a four instead of five stars was because of our check-in experience, the fact that they charge for parking (I did not know this until checking in), and the very slow bathroom drain. They did offer to fix it, but we were in and out the room and did not want the bothered with the workmen. Overall, we both had a pretty good experience. I would consider staying again mostly because the very quiet, almost private beach. Plus the amazing restaurant next door (Tante's Island Cuisine). It just really depends on my next trip.

First time staying here and I did check Yelp for reviews and it was a 50/50 shot! Because I've read good and bad reviews! Our room was decent tho! The only real issue in the room was she shower curtain rod and curtain. The curtain would not stay closed and it's because the sag in the curtain rod. So my wife used the two small hand towels (see photos) to keep it closed so water did not flood the floor. Also my past experience with hotels they typically ok with early check in and late check out with locals, but I paid $37 for early check in and $70 for late check out! We came to Maui to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary, so we knew we would be out all day doing stuff and seeing as much of Maui because it's a first time for us both! But I think I over paid for our room but it is what it is! Overall some places of the hotel look run down like general lights and carpets outside our room. Oh and there is no beach access that I saw because there is a fence at the edge of the property so we didn't go down to the water! Other than that our experience here was great, and can't wait to come back to see more of Maui!

This place is in a nice location but it's just expensive in my opinion. The room was clean, the pillows were comfy and the air con blows cold. They put the remote console in a plastic bag to protect everyone probably since we all know they are the most infested item in a hotel room. There's a little coffee maker and all the dogs to make yourself a cup which is always nice to get your day started. This last visit I had to pay $15/night for parking. If you go to the restaurant on-site, they give you 10% off so I guess that's a plus too. Don't recall if there are any restrictions though. I did think at night, the pool looks really dope. They have purple lights in it. My favorite part was just sitting outside and listening to the ocean. The workers are very nice too. No real gripes except the cost but then again it's Maui so suck it up and enjoy the stay.

2025 Newly renovated rooms have barnyard style bathroom doors that doesn't close all the way. It leaves a gap, so anyone can watch you shower through the glass shower door from the entryway. Even if they remove the stopper that is there to stop it from hitting the countertop outside of the bathroom it still leaves a gap that can see into the shower from the side angle. The lighting for the countertop on the mirror is very weak. We had to use our cell phone flashlight to do our paperwork.

Awesome customer service!! And nice hotel. Didn't use the amenities as much but wish I would've! Lovely Views!

The lobby and pool was pretty, however, rooms are pretty outdated where we stayed. We booked pretty late but it came with a rental car and Maui seaside was only a 6 min drive to the airport. There is additional parking on the left of the hotel entrance instead of the right. If your room is near the back of the hotel you can use your room key to access the big gray doors in the middle of the parking lot next to Tante's. For the room itself, my friend and I were in an out everyday so we didn't care too much but we had ants in our room and in the bathroom. A roach was on the stairs. Pros were they had a mini fridge to keep your food and drinks cool!

Nice service and great pool. Easy access to beach and shops. Airport is very close. Rooms are clean too. Can't complain.

Hidden gem. Located directly on the beach. Beautiful pool. Manicured lawns. Excellent staff. Jo Ann the security guard is a great addition to the property and offers great local food suggestions. The staff will make you feel right at home. In room fridges are a definite plus and the rooms ac can make it as cold as you could possibly want. Close proximity to the airport so super convenient. And late at night we made a friend with a little local cat running around. Great place!!!!

Choosing a hotel to stay at the first night of my first time in Maui seemed stressful. Most of the options are expensive and have mixed reviews. I can confidently give Maui Seaside Hotel a five star rating and here's why. Cleanliness is most important to me and my standards were met. The beds are clean and fresh, the bathrooms also clean and with nice marble counters. I didn't see a single bug anywhere in my room. The best part is being so close to the water. The view from my room is incredible and a beach walk is literally 60 seconds away. The staff is helpful and friendly. There is plenty of outdoor and patio seating with hot and cold water available in the lobby. As far as pricing goes this is one of the most affordable options. Local restaurants and shops including a Whole Foods are a short walk away, less than half a mile. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone coming through Maui and I would be happy to stay here again.

I'm going to start off by saying, DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. I'm not going to lie, I booked this hotel becuase we needed one more night near the airport. When we first drove up, I was hesitant after seeing the outside of the building. As soon as I walked up to the front desk I was relieved and impressed. Mazi, the front desk receptionist, was Soooooooo sweet and helpful. First, she helped us upgrade our room to a king. Second, she told us about their hospitality suite that allows you to use the room the day you check out. That way you can come back and freshen up after your day at the beach. Lastly, she recommended a delicious place for us to eat for dinner. Oh yeah and she helped me with the laundry mat after hours. This is where Unlce Hidey comes in! He is the security guard who went out of his way to help us with everything. He patiently waited for me to finish washing and drying my laundry after hours. He answered all questions we had and made us feel t home. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the place is a bit outdated. It's all very clean and nice just needs a facelift. Overall great experience and best way to spend out last day on Maui!

A gem...near airport and great staff. Comfortable stay and loved the firepits! Quiet and near fun restaurants. No car needed.

We arrive at the hotel, and from the outside, the main hotel doesn't look too bad. Newly rennovated with a pool by the water; that is the end of our pleasant stay at the seaside hotel. After eventually paying over $400 after being quoted $300 (supposed "resort fees"), we were assigned a room in a separate building that, both exterior and interior, was of much lower quality. We attempted to enter the building but struggled as one of our key cards did not work. Once we entered the building, the halls were covered with construction residue and filled with construction workers. I understand that renovations were taking place, however there was no way to get to our room without walking through these hazards, and there were no signs pointing to where we needed to go to access our room. Once we arrived to our room, it immediately smelled of mildew and was not very clean. There are no comforters to be found, only sheets. I entered the bathroom and found the shower to be dirty and moldy. I wore shoes in the shower, and about 15 seconds after turning on the shower head, it did not drain. There are no extra locks on the doors, which with non-hotel workers present, would have been nice as they likely have access to all rooms. Not sure if the restaurant next to the hotel is affiliated, but that was an awful experience as well. We have only been here 1.5 hours and this is what I have to say so far. Steer clear of this hotel, at least until their renovations are done. Even then I'm not sure it'd be great. This hotel should be max $150-200 per night, even by Hawaii standards. Charging over $400 for this quality is quite literally insane.

Our room was clean but I can see how insects can get in. (See other reports) The door has quite a big gap and it seems commonplace for people to bring in food from outside. There is no cooking in the unit we were in. We were also in an old section that may have been given a fresh coat of paint. Everything worked from the TV to shower. It has a pool and nice vista. The waiting area at the reception is very nice and airy. Checking in and out can be done via email. It is quite expensive but this is driven by what people are prepared to pay.

Not the cleanest hotel. More like a motel. Stains on carpet, smells a bit stale. I noticed the bathroom vent above the shower is a vent that connects directly to the room next door. You can hear everything your neighbor is doing while in the bathroom so no privacy there. Paid over $200 for a standard room, one night stay. Average hotel - not worth the money and I didn't feel safe outside at night as a solo female traveller but at least the sheets were white, there's hot water and A/C.

First impression of this hotel was meh. First day, we just went straight to the room, settled our things and went out for dinner. It wasn't until the next day that I did a bit of exploring around the property. Its a small lot and the buildings (outside as well as inside) looked pretty dated. The lobby/front desk area, along with the pool looks very nice and modern. I'm a no frills, bells or whistles kind of hotel guest. Although I do appreciate it when its there, it is not a must. Room, bed, shower, & outlets are pretty much all thats needed for me. This hotel was enough, for me. The pool was a nice extra for the kids. The view of the beach right beyond the pool was gorgeous! There's a fire pit and ample amount of chairs & umbrellas available. Pool does go my reservation and with a quick call to front desk we were easily able to reserve a hr slot for same day a few hrs ahead. Staff were all very nice and accommodating, even chatted a bit with one of the maintenance workers about his nick name "Hidey". We asked for extra towels and blankets and it was no problem. One thing to keep in mind is that cleaning service is by request only. Overall, we had all the things necessary for a decent hotel stay. Since I'm one of those that would rather be out exploring, I say we would stay here again if we ever visit the island in the future. Depending on what type of traveler/vacationer you are, my recommendation would probably be to look elsewhere if your priority is "lavish and luxurious" only. Just the basics here hunny.

1. Room was on third floor of old, run down building 2. Room had ants 3. Guest services was out of many common amenities like toothpaste when we were there 4. I found ants in our room 5. Walls to rooms are so thin that I could hear neighbors conversations and had to call room service to request a neighbor turn down their TV one night.

Tonight is our last night of the week staying here at the Maui Seaside Hotel. Will be sad to go. We really loved staying here. It's small, Low key and has everything we need. The pool was clean and clear and fresh. No chemical smell! The grounds were kept immaculate and the room was perfectly clean and attended to by cheerful staff every day. They are very professional and friendly. The hotel is located right on the beach. There is a grassy area and then a slight drop down to beautiful sand and a pretty calm beach. We are here in the winter and even the worst day of waves was still swimmable. There is a fantastic restaurant for breakfast and lunch attached to the hotel. There is a very nice dinner restaurant across the street with a bar that's fun, and grocery shopping within a quarter-mile either direction across the street. There's a big drug store that has great prices and liquor and pretty much everything you need. Also right across the street is a little market with Asian foods and very nice fruit and vegetables.

While there is a newer section, my wife and I were lucky enough to receive an assignment into room 3020 --"the vintage section of the resort." We are fairly certain the mattress was also a cherished antique of 30 plus years. --My back completely sucks today which is highly atypical. Soooo.... If you want to experience a truly realistic Hawaiian treat with high heat & humidity (despite the window unit screeching all night), crawling ants in the room and hammock sleeping bunks --book immediately. Otherwise we recommend trying another "resort." We won't be back to the Maui Seaside.

My family and I booked this place as just a place to take a quick shower and nap before our flight because it's so close near the airport. We were so happy with our stay! The staff were all sooo amazing !! Shout out to Mazi at the front desk and Heidi the security guy! Such friendly people and so helpful! We stayed in the newly remodeled room and it was so roomy, clean, had a little family room, tiny mini kitchen with microwave, fridge, and sink. They had a laundry room we were able to wash and dry our clothes but keep in mind it doesn't take coins, only can pay via QR code on your phone. Also, they have a hospitality room for after hours which I have never seen in any hotel I have stayed at and it was SOOO... helpfully to use after we checked out and needed to wash up after our trip to the beach. They also held our suitcases until our red eye. Reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is solely because the parking sucks there and I know the building is old and a lot of rooms still need updating. The staff said they are doing a complete remodel by next year. I would most definitely stay here again! Right in the middle of everything and close to the airport, mall, harbor, etc.

LOVE!! Love this hotel. The room is very clean and nice. The location is perfect and convenient to travel around the island. Easy to go west bound and east bound. Surrounded with foods, shopping mall, Costco, airport, etc. staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast at restaurant is unbelievable with full menus. Will definitely go back and stay this hotel again.

Honestly a very underrated hotel. My boyfriend and I came for the weekend from Oahu on a mini vacation. I picked the place because we planned on just spending the nights there and all our time out. The hotel sends a free shuttle to pick you up from OCC and a free shuttle back if you request it. If you rent a car it's only $15 a day, which coming from Honolulu where you can be paying up to $50 to park a day that's a DEAL. If you don't rent a car, walk about 15 minutes to the nearest bus stop at Queen Ka'ahumanu Canter and pay $4 for an all day pass. The busses go all around the island and to the biggest attractions/hikes. We went to the west side for a day and that sure beat spending $58 on an Uber one way. I was super surprised, the lobby and outside pool area is beautiful and clean. The rooms are clean and well kept. And the staff is SO nice and accommodating. I read a lot of reviews of people saying there were bugs and ants, I'm sorry but that's island life here, but there was none of that. During the day the sun is beautiful by the pool and the beach is right there to enjoy. The hotel has lawn games to play and chairs to tan in. At night they light the fire pits and there is comfy seating to listen to the ocean and the wind in the trees. There's a restaurant with great food for all meal times and you get a discount if you stay at the hotel. There are plenty of stores and other restaurants around too if you prefer that. For the price that it is, it's an absolute steal. I've stayed in plenty of hotels around all the islands, and if you aren't looking to spend $600+ per night at a resort, MSH is by far one of the best place I've found. I will be coming back for sure!

I needed a last minute room and thankfully found one here. Most everything was beautifully updated, except the inside of my room. My poolside room #115 was strangely textured behind the bed and on the ceiling, and the window air conditioner wasn't new. However it was cool, clean, had nice soft bedding, and had everything I needed. The pool was wonderful, and right next to the beach. There were comfortable lounge chairs, umbrellas, and a fire pit. There was grass that was so fine it seemed like carpet, short and manicured. The restaurant was great, and you get a discount it mention you're staying there. Definitely book online to get a $50 per day discount per night. I walked up at 11pm without a reservation and paid extra.

I would have expected this level of rapscallion hoodwinking bait and switch from a lesser priced hotel, of which there were a few on the night in question. I was greeted by a modern updated boho sheik flowing breezeway, which led to the beautiful pool and beachfront, through a corridor, over the river and through the woods to a separate detached 3rd story building. I wish I could say that it just hadnt been updated, however this is not the case. It has been updated recently, by someone with zero handy work skills on a severely truncated budget. Shitty thin towels, scratchy sheets, garbage finishes on everything from shower to sink, fridge to AC. Sad, sad, sad. Not worth the $300 price tag. Buyer beware, I've stayed in nicer holiday inns in Las Vegas for $29.

Unless the only thing you care about is proximity to the airport, I would strongly encourage you to stay somewhere else. The cockroaches and other insects in and around the hotel rooms were pretty off-putting. Parking/maneuvering through the parking lot is a pain, especially if your vehicle is large. There is no safe in the rooms -- not the end of the world, but definitely useful when traveling with passports or other things you don't want to carry around 24/7. What was extra frustrating for me is that the hotel staff moved my coworkers and me to different rooms to be closer to the teenagers we were chaperoning (this part was fine), but after initially giving us all evening to move our stuff at our convenience, informed us that we'd only have until the top of the hour -- 30-35 minutes away -- to be out of our original rooms. At this point, we stopped what we were doing and immediately headed to our rooms...only to discover that the keys had already been deactivated. With my coworker/roommate picking up dinner for the large group, I did my best to move our suitcases, toiletries, and everything we had already unpacked to our new rooms as quickly as possible. I finished up -- or at least I thought I had -- just in time. I would have liked being able to do one final review of the room, but the key had once again been deactivated. The next morning, I couldn't find my laptop charger and realized I had most likely left it under the bed. The next 48 hours were disappointing, as either the front desk folks (who had been the cause of this entire situation) or the cleaning staff failed to communicate with the other. At one point, after being told that the cleaning staff had not discovered anything left behind, I started to question myself: in my haste of packing and moving to the new room, had I put my charger in an unusual pocket of a bag? That seemed unlikely, but I tore apart all my things looking for it. Only after I spoke to multiple managers at different times of the day did I finally get my charger back from the lost and found. Simply put, the hotel reeked of unprofessionalism. Pluses: 1) The hotel is just a couple miles from the airport. 2) There is a pool. Negatives: Everything else.
